Chapter 69: Post-Production

As the characters are clearly killed one by one on paper, except for Todd's hanging and Tyri's throat piercing, Mr. Newton being stabbed in the chest due to an accident, Zuihou dying in an explosion, and Billy being on the side of the railroad with half of his head cut off by a piece of iron brought up by a passing train, these episodes began to be incorporated into the filming track.

However, this did not improve the filming schedule, on the contrary, there was even a certain degree of drag, after all, the previous plot had already been arranged, and putting these into the orbit would inevitably lead to rescheduling. This is also the reason why Weishenme filmed Tyri's death first, because that scene is related to Alex and Claire talking about Todd's death on the street, and it is only necessary to shoot this part in advance.

…… Well, the previous draw was indeed cheating, and those hardcore animals have been asking James in private? Huang filmed this section first, and the director couldn't resist the pressure and agreed. Of course, Sean, as a gentleman, would certainly not participate in this kind of discussion, he just ...... Well...... When they asked for advice, they said it didn't matter.

It's okay to be slow, Huang is not in a hurry, what does Sean need to hurry? As long as he doesn't delay his trip to New Zealand in December. Moreover, it doesn't matter if it's delayed, according to the schedule provided by Jackson, in December, he only has a week to two scenes, and Haldir spotted the Fellowship of the Ring while patrolling Roslorian, taunted the Golden Bolt and took them to meet Queen Galadriel.

There is really something to do, and it should be possible to delay it after communicating with Jackson, at most it is just to lose some impression points with him.

Moreover, Sean can also use this opportunity to figure out his acting skills and analyze the difference between acting and methodology in practice. When filming "The Genius Ripley" before, because the pressure was relatively high, my mind was full of thoughts about playing a good role, so the way of performance was always changing, as long as it could meet the director's requirements. For the rest of the time, you either relax and don't want to do anything to adjust and stay in shape, or you are entangled with Gwyneth or Kate, and naturally you don't have the energy to tidy up.

After the shooting, there was time, but there was no one to give advice, guidance, and exchange opinions, so I still didn't make a specific summary.

James? Although Huang is a first-time director, he has already worked as a screenwriter and producer before, and has added a lot of wonderful plots to "The X-Files", so he is a very good person to communicate with. Although Harrington emphasized that the right acting skills that can highlight their own characteristics and impress the audience are the most haode, if you don't sort out and summarize, how can you find the right acting skills?

So Sean fully experienced it during this time, weishenme Harrington would say that there are very few pure jishu pies now, very simply, in the original Hollywood, most of the movie selling points focused on the characteristics of the actors, such as Clark? Gable's handsomeness, Mary? Bikfu's sexiness, or the mother of CDMA, Heidi? Rama's full nude appearances and so on.

Coupled with the exaggerated body language handed down from the silent film era, at that time, actors would gain a large number of fans as long as they showed the joys and sorrows of their characters on the screen. However, with the continuous progress of filming Jishu, the film became more and more realistic, so the film company's requirements for the actors became higher and higher, and the audience also began to be satisfied with the film only showing the personal charm of the actors, coupled with the invasion of Stanislavsky's methodist acting, so it gave birth to the methodist actors represented by Strathberg.

And the actors who are used to the jishu school have to figure out and integrate into the feelings and psychological activities of the characters, and the completely pure jishu school has also begun to decline, and now it only exists in those idol actors. This is obviously not what Sean wants, since he is an actor, how can he be a male vase? Coupled with various reasons, he took a biased line from the beginning.

Understanding the difference between the previous Jishu faction and the current Jishu faction made Sean further understand the meaning of learning from each other's strengths, although this did not make him immediately have a qualitative leap in his acting skills, but it was enough to deal with "The Grim Reaper".

"How did he do it?" In the gap between shooting, Catherine? Heigl couldn't help but ask Amanda? Dartman's word.

"What and how?" Amanda, who had just finished today's scene and finished removing her makeup, asked rhetorically.

"Sean, how did he do it," Catherine explained, "and the director said before that he should look sad and hesitant, preferably with a little tears in his eyes, and he sat alone for a while, then rubbed his face, and then came to the camera to look like just now, and it looked ...... It's very contagious. ”

"Is it infectious?" Amanda glanced at Sean, who was already resting, and then relaxed her shoulders, "Why don't I think?" ”

"Did you really watch it before, Amanda?" Catherine raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I didn't look, I don't look like some people who stare intently at others." Amanda said in a narrow voice.

"But he did ...... acting" Catherine reacted halfway through, glared at Amanda fiercely, reached out and grabbed her waist, and the two girls immediately laughed and laughed for a while before it ended.

Despite this, Catherine is still full of curiosity about Sean, and she has been making movies since she was 14 years old, and she has worked with many actors, the biggest name is Steven? Siegel. However, that collaboration was not a pleasant memory, Siegel was not a good person to get along with, she was very short-tempered and not very gregarious, and she was under a lot of pressure for a long time.

Not to mention this, among the actors who cooperate, there are not many adult actors who can integrate into the role and show the emotions that the director wants so quickly as Sean, let alone young people of the same age. Originally, she thought that he had a very good personality, and she had a good impression of him after a few plays, so she simply asked him directly.

"Hmm...... Well...... Sean scratched his head, "Actually, it's simply to remember the things that made you sad before, and then ...... Embodyed. ”

"That's it?" Catherine was visibly dissatisfied.

"You see, you've definitely experienced something bad before, something that made you sad and sad and didn't want to recall. So, when the director needs you to be sad, you can try to recall it, feel it again, and then keep it in your body and show it again. Sean said with a gesture, then sighed softly at the thought of something.

"You must have a lot of stories." Catherine, who had been holding her face and looking at him for a long time, said.

Lots of stories? Of course, Sean will always remember that when he was almost 1 year old, after finally figuring out his situation, he recalled all kinds of things in the past, and that feeling of panic and fear. At that time, he had to cry several times a day due to physical limitations, but fortunately, his mother had enough patience and carefulness to tirelessly comfort him, otherwise God knows what he would become in the future, so the first word he shouted was, Mom.

Because of this, whether it is a stage performance in high school or a performance in front of the camera, if he needs to express the character's insecurity, panic or sadness, he can grasp the subtle emotion just by thinking about the experience. When filming "The Genius Ripley" before, the scene where Ripley and Meredith watched the drama also relied on this to make them cry.

"Anyway, you have time to practice on your own, so take your time." Sean Zuihou ended the conversation with Catherine with this sentence.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk more, although he has some restraint, it's not a bad thing to be able to talk more with such a beautiful girl. It's just that when Catherine came to him, he had already done his job and was about to leave the crew, even though it was just past noon. After all, Sean has to do more than just the filming of "The Grim Reaper", such as the later stages of "The Genius Ripley".

Actually, as an actor, there isn't much to do in post-production, which is to re-dub certain passages that the director and sound engineer need. There is also a reshoot, but this is generally not the case unless the director and producer feel it is necessary.

But Sean remained as humble as he had always been, and whenever Minghella called, he would rush to the studio. On the one hand, you can find out where the post-production is going, and on the other hand, you can also find opportunities to observe the results, and the studio has a special place for screening.

"See? You're outstanding, Sean. Sitting on the couch in the recording studio, Minghella asked, pointing to the screen hanging on the wall.

"I don't know," said a somewhat agitated Sean, after looking at it for a while, "this is my first time...... See yourself in the movie. ”

The scene was played in the theater, and when the tears crossed his cheeks, the camera gave a close-up, although there was no connection between the front and back, but I could still feel a feeling similar to loneliness.

"Xiexie, Mr. Minghella." Sean then said so.

"How many times have I said that, Sean." Minghella gave him a disgruntled look.

"Okay, Minger...... Anthony. Sean laughed, slightly owing.

That's the third reason why he has everything he wants, without Minghella's support, he would not have been able to play this role. After sealing the mirror, Sean specially asked Frederick to inquire about it, and confirmed that Minghella played a big role in it, so you can imagine how grateful he was in his heart. So, even though he didn't know that Minghella Weishenme was so blue-eyed about him, Sean still respected him very much.

Basically, according to the current progress, at the most, the production of "The Genius Ripley" will be completely completed by early November, and the schedule is therefore set for Christmas. As for how to promote it at that time, Sean is not very clear, Frederick once told him the importance of publicity, and sometimes the publicity cost of a film can be compared to one-third of the production cost.

It's just that I don't know which company Miramax will hand over the distribution rights to when the time comes, after all, Harvey? Weinstein must have hated himself quite a bit.

But none of this was something he could control, so he quickly shifted his energy to another thing, something very important.
